I would put BC in the Coastal then Pitt and Cuse in the Atlantic with Pitt/VT and Cuse/BC being crossovers. If there is not switching to be done, then Cuse in the Coastal makes the most sense as long as we can swap BC for Pitt.

Going to 16 would be good if we could add two northern schools and end up in a pod with UVA, UMD, and Pitt then play two from every other pod. I would set the pods up in pairs though so you were guaranteed to only play one from each pair. The pairs would be:

Cuse/BC
New Schools (UConn, Rutgers or ND)

Pitt/UMD
UVA/VT

UNC/NCSU
Wake/Duke

GT/Clemson
FSU/Miami

So we would always have a game in FL every other year, we'd have two games against NC teams (one public, one private), and we'd get to play in SC/GA every other year.

For basketball, that would be okay with me, but for football, I don't want all 4 North Carolina schools in the same division. Your 4 divisions make sense geographically but the South is loaded with 4 of the top 6 football teams in the ACC. I think basketball may divide the ACC into true North and South divisions (North:BC, Cuse, Pitt, UConn or Rutgers, Notre Dame, MD, UVa, and VT AND South:UNC, NCSU, Wake, Duke, Clemson, GT, FSU, and Miami).

I still say split the conference culturally instead of geographically. Divisions would be:

Us - i.e. the snooty basketball schools who long for the day when the ACC was THE ACC. For balance purposes, we'll include Syracuse just because they fit even though they aren't part of the old guard.
UNC
Duke
NCSU
Wake
Virginia
Maryland
Syracuse

Them - i.e. the football schools the ACC puts up with to maintain conference viability
Miami
FSU
Clemson
GT
Virginia Tech
Pitt
Boston College

If you go North and South. Then move Miami North because they are more northern (culture and student body wise) and NCSU to the South because they are more Southern and the Triangle is NOT going to be broken up. Again "if" you are going to make a change to North and South...here is how I see it with the cross overs it is pretty good schedule if you ask me. Especially with the cross over games.
